Full textDetta examensarbete är ett tjänstedesignprojekt som undersöker ämnet hållbar interntransport för anställda inom Scania CV ABs industriområde, i Sverige. Syftet med projektet var att leverera nya idéer för transporttjänster till Scania, eller förbättra befintliga tjänster baserat på användarnas behov och beteenden. Kraven på transportsystemet var tids- och kostnadseffektivitet, samt miljöhållbarhet. Idag erbjuds ett interntransportsystem som inte är populärt bland de anställda, vilket betyder att majoriteten väljer deras egen bil för att transportera sig på företagsområdet. Detta har medfört både ett ineffektivt system och en ökad efterfrågan på parkeringsplatser i området. En tjänstedesignmetodik valdes för att genomföra projektet. Detta är en användarcentrerad och iterativ metod, som låter undersöka användarnas behov och beteenden för att skapa tjänster baserat på insikter, som upptäcks under processen. Tre iterationer genomfördes, där varje iteration innehöll delarna Utforska, Definiera, Utveckla och Leverera. Varje iteration inleddes med intervjuer för att få nya insikter och en bättre förståelse. Det följdes av en analys och sedan gjordes konceptgenerering eller utveckling av befintligt koncept, vilket resulterade i utvecklade koncept för varje iteration. De slutgiltiga koncepten slogs samman i fem konceptgrupper, som kallades Gående, Cyklande, On-demand-tjänst (på begäran), Scania Move Application och Självkörande taxibilar. De slutgiltiga koncepten presenterades i en kronologisk implementeringsplan. En affärsmodell togs också fram genom att använda olika verktyg. Slutsatsen av projektet är att ett hållbart transportsystem designades för Scania att implementera i Södertälje. Lösningen uppfyllde alla projektmål. Designriktlinjer och rekommendationer för framtida arbete togs även fram för Scania. Baserat på upptäckterna i detta examensarbete, rekommenderas Scania att fortsätta arbeta på deras hållbara interntransportsystem.

Full textThe mobility system in France faces increasing sustainability challenges. In response, French public authorities have endeavoured to foster innovation in the mobility system, with a particular focus on the automotive subsystem, where the challenges are most acute. Corporations have a special position in the mobility system: their decisions influence mobility behaviours well beyond corporate mobility patterns alone. Every year in France, 4 out of 10 new light-duty vehicles (including passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) are sold to corporations. Yet, corporate mobility in general, and corporate car fleets in particular, are still blind spots in the collective understanding of the mobility system. The main contribution of our work is to demonstrate that, given their effects on the larger mobility system, and given their sensitivity to public policies, corporate car fleets are a relevant object for research and a relevant matter for public policy discussion. Our research is a multi-method investigation, collecting information from a wide range of sources, including professional journals and legal archives, and cross-checking quantitative results on the composition and use patterns of corporate car fleets from large mobility surveys in France against qualitative insights gained from an exploratory survey of fleet managers in the Paris region. We develop a set of definitions and analytical frameworks for investigating corporate car fleets, including a typology of vehicles based on the various levels of ‘rights' granted to the employee over the vehicle. We show that corporate car fleets could account for 15% of the total light-duty vehicle fleet in France, 25% of its total mileage and 25% to 30% of its CO2 emissions. We also reveal the instrumental role that corporate car fleets can play in setting new trends for France's global vehicle stock. We highlight that the daily patterns of use of corporate vehicles are highly diverse, and partly compatible with electric vehicles. Finally, we show that tax policies have significant effects on the dynamics of the spread of innovations in corporate car fleets. We discuss the implications of these results for policy-making and stress the need for further integration between industrial policies, transport policies, and tax policies. We further emphasise the need for greater coordination between the various levels of government, and for adequate phasing of public policies. At present, more transparency is needed about how long current ‘initiating' policies (e.g. purchase bonus) will last, and how strong the ‘supporting' policies (e.g. low-emission zones) will be in the medium- to long-term
Hussen, Berhanu Woldetensae. "Sustaining Sustainable Mobility : the Integration of Multimodal Public Transportation in Addis Ababa." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE2042/document.
Full textAddis Ababa, with an area of 540 km2 and with population of 3.1 million people is experiencing a rapid pace of socio-economic and physical transformation. The city is not only the political, commercial, economic and financial hub of the country but also an international city serving as the seat of the African Union and various international organizations. Alike many African Cities, Addis Ababa has been undergoing a high rate of urbanization. This process of rapid urbanization has resulted in the increase in the size of the population and the physical expansion of the city. As a consequence, travel demand and length of the trip are increasing. Transportation plays a key role in determining the socioeconomic development and shaping the spatial development framework of the city. Equally important, transportation as derived demand is also a fundamental means for residents to fulfill their various activities. In Addis Ababa motorization, although on the increase, is low and public transportation is the most important mode of motorized mobility for the large majority of the city’s population. There are various formal and informal operators of the public transport mainly operating on individual basis. It is estimated that there are over 18,000 public transport vehicles that are daily running in Addis Ababa, most of them low capacity vehicles. Despite its importance, the public transport sector not only suffers from shortage, insufficient capital investment, and until recently lack of clear governmental policy and leadership but also from the absence of integrated approach to its operation, planning and management.Many cities in the North have embarked on integrating the provision of public transportation for nearly half a century now. In these cities, integration in public transportation has been recommended as a viable instrument for providing high quality and seamless urban transport and enhancing sustainable urban development. African cities which are characterized by their high urbanization rate, low level of private car ownership, deficient public transportation system and significant financial constraints lack public transportation integration experiences. The question is then ‘how do African cities replicate and implement public transport integration practices?’ that have been originally developed for the Cities of the North. The thesis attempts to answer this question and analyses the different forms of public transport integration. It then proposes a framework for implementing integrated public transport as a sustainable means of urban mobility in Addis Ababa

This dissertation examines the concept of sustainable mobility within an urban context. In essence, the research aims to answer the question, "What role does a city's built environment play, if any, in the sustainability of its mobility system?" To answer this question, I first derive an operational definition of sustainable mobility: maintaining the capability to provide non-declining accessibility in time. Providing non-declining accessibility depends on our ability to maintain net capital (natural, human-made, social) stocks, or, at least, the capability of these stocks to provide current levels of accessibility to future generations. In other words, we can think of a more sustainable mobility system as one that provides more welfare per unit of throughput, with welfare measured by accessibility and throughput measured by mobility. This is a normative framework. It can only indicate relative levels of sustainable mobility. Within a specific city, this framework can allow us to measure which parts of the city produce more sustainable mobility patterns. To employ this framework, I utilize a utility-derived accessibility measure.
(cont.) The attractiveness of a utility-based accessibility metric comes from its basis in welfare economics, its ability to account for individual characteristics and preferences, and the possibility for its derivation from the random utility-based models (e.g., logit), which have a long tradition of use in transportation planning. Also, drawing from the large research base exploring the role of the built environment on transportation, I develop several models that assess the influence of the built environment on travel behavior, in particular, motor vehicle ownership and use. These models, combined, enable the exploration of sustainable mobility within a given city. I apply the framework to the city of Santiago de Chile, utilizing data from a 2001 household travel survey and a 2001 real estate cadastre, specifying a nested destination and mode choice model, and examining a subset of discretionary trips by seven different travel modes. Variations by income, gender, and modal availability are explored. I conclude with a discussion of the implications in the face of current urban growth patterns in Santiago.

Full textTransport och mobilitet är viktiga komponenter i organiseringen och strukturen av människors dagliga aktiviteter. Transportsektorn ger emellertid upphov till stor miljöpåverkan, exempelvis växthusgasutsläpp och markanvändning. Governance av sektorn är komplicerad och det har skett ett skifte från en hierarkisk styrning mot en större delaktighet och samarbete mellan olika aktörer. Givet dessa utmaningar kan det finnas behov av att flytta fokus från att palnera för rörlighet till tillgänglighet samt att ändra planeringsparadigmer. Syftet med avhandlingen är dels att kritiskt undersöka vad ett paradigmskifte skulle kunna innebära i det svenska nationella och kommunala transport-, bostads- och parkeringsplaneringssammanhanget, dels att undersöka hur ett Social Practice Theory ramverk skulle kunna bidra till förståelsen av ett sådant paradigmskifte. För att göra detta har avhandlingen undersökt tre policys som är i linje med ett paradigmskifte. Alla policys som diskuteras i avhandlingen öppnar upp beslutsfattande för olika aktörer eller medborgare. Vidare lyfter alla diskuterade strategier fram behovet av att flytta fokus från fysisk infrastruktur till tillgänglighet och att samarbete mellan olika intressenter är nödvändigt. I varje fall finns dock förhållanden och praktiker som försvårar omställningen. Trafikverket framhåller exempelvis vikten av att minska behovet av att resa och av att använda befintlig infrastruktur mer effektivt, och de menar att dessa åtgärder bör övervägas innan nya infrastrukturinvesteringar. Samtidigt har Trafikverket begränsat mandat att finansiera dessa åtgärder, vilket ger upphov till tvetydiga signaler och frustration bland regionala planerare på Trafikverket. Papper I argumenterar för att ett mer funktionsorienterat mandat skulle kunna underlätta en ett paradigmskifte i linje med en ’sustainable mobility paradigm’. I paper II diskuteras en förändring från miniminorm för parkeringsplatser vid bostäder, där byggherrarna måste bygga minst ett visst antal parkeringsplatser, till flexibla parkeringstal, där antal parkeringsplatser som ska byggas beror på den lokala kontexten och där andra mobilitetstjänster kan ersätta behovet av parkeringsplatser. I detta paper studeras personer som har köpt lägenheter i flerbostadshus med flexibla parkeringstal. Målet är att förstå dessa människors praktiker och hur de använder och uppfattar de mobilitetstjänster som tillhandahålls. I papper III diskuteras möjligheten att använda ett nytt parkeringsverktyg, Parking Benefit Districts, i en europeisk kontext. Parkering Benefit Districts är ett koncept där parkeringsavgifter på gatan införs, höjs eller utökas. Intäkterna från parkeringsavgifterna återförs därefter till det område där de togs ut, och medborgare, eller andra intressenter i området, deltar sedan i beslutet om hur intäkterna ska användas. Syftet med denna åtgärd har traditionellt varit att öka acceptansen för parkeringsavgifter, eftersom parkeringsavgifter på gatan kan anses vara fördelaktiga av planerare, men impopulära bland medborgare och andra intressenter. Paper III nämner i analysen att det inte finns några legala hinder för att genomföra ett Parking Benefit District program i Sverige, men det finns vissa begränsningar för hur intäkterna kan användas. Planerare i Stockholms stad hävdar dock att Sverige inte har den här planeringstraditionen och påpekar att ett sådant åtgärd kanske inte uppfattas som legitim. En annan viktig fråga att diskutera är jämlikhet och deltagande. Det finns en risk att vissa grupper i samhället inte deltar i samma utsträckning och det är därför viktigt att överväga vem som ska involveras samt hur det ska ske. I slutet diskuteras resultaten i relation till forskningsfrågorna. Alla de studerade policys skiftar fokus från fysisk infrastruktur till människors behov. Samtidigt finns det andra planerings praktiker och institutioner som drar samhällsutvecklingen i motsatt riktning. I avhandlingen diskuteras även hur ett Social Practice ramverk kan hjälpa både forskare och beslutsfattare att se de förändringar som behövs för att nå en ’sustainable mobility paradigm’.

Full textThis study presents a BRT Transoeste project evaluation in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from a sustainable mobility and urban development perspective. The BRT Transoeste is the first Bus Rapid Transit system implemented in the municipality and was proposed initially to fufill the agreement between Rio de Janeiro City Government and the International Olympic Committee for the 2016 Olympic Games. This system crossing the city neighborhoods in Planning Area 4 (Barra da Tijuca) and 5 (West Side) was envisioned to work as a passenger transportation structuring system for its area of influence. The Geographic Information System – GIS helped analyze indicators associated with the system s spatial coverage, urban space circulation conditions, land occupation, use and zoning laws in its direct area of influence. The Móbile Research Group (COPPE/UFRJ) developed six principles for sustainable city design to analyze results obtained for these spatial indicators. These principles make clear the need to integrate transportation and land use planning to promote sustainable mobility and urban development.

The "sustainability" literature generally acknowledges a critical role for transportation infrastructure planning, finance, investment, design, construction, operation, and management for addressing the long-term viability of cities and metropolitan areas. At the same time, governments have increasingly employed public-private partnerships (PPPs) for metropolitan transportation infrastructure with the goal of improving project finance, delivery, and long-term management and operation. While proponents of "sustainability" often imply a more collectivist and public-sector-led paradigm and proponents of liberalization often argue for greater private sector intervention and market competition, theory suggests that both sectors offer unique institutional attributes critical to achieving sustainable metropolitan mobility (SMM). The question is how to optimally configure institutions to address the challenge of SMM for metropolitan transportation infrastructure delivery? Focusing on highways, this thesis adopts a broad definition of SMM that compasses efficient road pricing and regulation, integration of metropolitan transportation policy, public acceptability, and technology. It employs a qualitative case study analysis to test theories on optimal institutional configurations against seven cases across the world where PPPs were used to deliver highway infrastructure in metropolitan areas. The results suggest that the distribution of network, traffic, and demand risks; the spatial configuration of highways within metropolitan areas; and political factors play key roles in achieving SMM. Additionally, issues of vertical devolution and integration of government institutions and contract regulation likely play important roles but require more in-depth research.

Full textCities are central hubs of activity, but their growing populations amplify concerns regarding environmental sustainability, resource management, and equitable access to mobility. To address these challenges, there needs to be a paradigm shift in urban transportation.Emerging innovations in smart mobility, specifically electric Shared Automated Vehicles (SAV), offer a promising solution to redefine urban mobility frameworks. These vehicles provide the potential to change the current transportation paradigm by offering environmentally friendly and accessible alternatives. However, their successful integration into urban settings requires a comprehensive understanding of deployment strategies and their subsequent impacts. This thesis aims to delve into the complexities surrounding the deployment of SAV, investigating their potential implications for Sustainable Urban Development in European cities.It focuses on deployment strategies and integration into transportation systems. Using scenario planning literature reviews and externalities calculations, it assesses potential strategies, emphasising integration's crucial role in positive impacts across urban contexts. The analysis highlights how Automated minibuses (AM) within a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) could support public transport and provide a solution for urban mobility challenges in cities while simultaneously fostering Sustainable Urban Development. Policy recommendations highlight infrastructure adaptation, stakeholder engagement, and promotion of intermodal transport, emphasizing SAV's integration for reducing external costs and fostering sustainable transportation practices in cities

Full textToday, vehicles have become more sophisticated, intelligent and connected. Indeed, they are equipped with sensors, radars, GPS, communication interfaces and high processing and storage capacities. They can collect, process and communicate information related to their working conditions and their environment forming a vehicular network. The incorporation of communication technologies on vehicles garnered a huge attention of industry, government authorities and standardizations organizations and opened the way for innovative applications that revolutionized the automotive market with the main goals to ensure safety on roads, increase transport efficiency and provide comfort to drivers and passengers. In addition, transportation is still an actively evolving sector. More sustainable means of transportation such as electric vehicles are introduced progressively to the automotive market with new challenges related to energy consumption and environment preservation that remain to be solved. Many research investigations and industrial projects are done to exploit the advantages of information and communication technologies (ICT) to fit with transportation challenges. However, having connected and cooperative vehicles creates a highly dynamic network characterized by frequent link breaks and message losses. To cope with these communication limitations, this thesis focuses on two major axis: (i) connected vehicle or connected mobility and (ii) sustainable mobility. In the first part of this thesis, data dissemination, collection and routing in vehicular networks are addressed. Thus, a new dissemination protocol is proposed to deal with frequent network fragmentation and intermittent connectivity in these networks. Then, a new deployment strategy of new communication infrastructure is developed in order to increase network connectivity and enhance the utilization of the network resources. Finally, a new routing protocol, for delay-sensitive applications, that uses the optimized infrastructure deployment is proposed. The second part focuses on sustainable mobility with a focus on electric vehicles and with the main objective is to reduce pollution issues and make better use of energy. A new architecture for electric vehicles fleet management is proposed. This latter uses the implemented protocols of the first part of this thesis in order to collect, process and disseminate data. It helps to overcome the limitations related to short autonomy of electric vehicles. Then, to meet energy balance challenges, a new deployment scheme for electric vehicles charging stations is developed. This solution helps to satisfy drivers’ demands in term of energy while taking into account available resources

Full textEtt av de största bekymren för företag idag är alltjämt hur bra deras verksamhet kommer möta framtidens kundbehov. Emellertid är det nästan omöjligt att förutspå hur framtiden kommer utvecklas inom många branscher, men samtidigt möter företag överhängande operationella förluster om de misslyckas med att adressera framtidens behov. Föga förvånande har många företag börjat intressera sig för flexibla produktutvecklingsstrategier som kan hantera en oförutsägbar framtid och tidigare forskning har belyst Modularisering som en sådan strategi. Däremot finns det i dagsläget inga nuvarande metoder som tar hänsyn till framtidsstudier i modulariseringsprocessen. Dessutom verkar det inte finnas några metoder som utvärderar effektiviteten hos modulära konfigurationer med avseende på olika framtidsscenarier. I avsaknad av sådana metoder riktar sig detta examensarbete mot gapet mellan framtidsstudier och modularisering av produkter. Syftet är att undersöka hur scenariomodellering kan användas i modulariseringsprocessen för att utvärdera robustheten hos moduler gentemot olika framtidsscenarier. Studien är avgränsad mot inter-urbana transportuppdrag med ett särskilt fokus på batteridrivna och vätgasdrivna lastbilar. För att uppnå forskningssyftet bygger uppsatsen på scenariomodellering från tidigare forskning som bidrar med en uppsättning av möjliga men ändå distinkta framtidsscenarier. Vidare kunde framtidsscenarierna sammanlänkas med modulariseringsprocessen genom att extrahera de viktigaste kundvärdena från framtidsscenarierna och översätta dessa till mätbara design variabler. Därefter kunde den totala effektiviteten för 42 unika lastbilskonfigurationer utvärderas mot framtidakundvärden genom att tilldela kundvärdena olika signifikansnivåer baserat på framtidsscenarierna. Dessaresultat användes för att bedöma konfigurationernas relativa prestanda mot olika framtidsscenarier. Resultatet användes också till att samla in data om modulernas robusthet och sedermera analysera lämpligheten hos enskilda moduler. Sammanfattningsvis bedöms bidraget från metoden vara av dubbel karaktär. Å ena sidan kan metoden ge insikter om den framtida lämpligheten hos modulära koncept i ett tidigt skede av produktutvecklingsprocessen. Samtidigt kan metoden användas i återkommande utvärderingar av modulkonfigurationer och som ledsagning för att optimera modulvarianter och förbereda modulära produktkonfigurationer mot flera framtidsscenarier.

Full textThe need to recompose an approach to sustainable mobility appears more intensely at the beginning of the 21st century in a tense economic and social context in parallel with international injunctions to reduce pollution, especially automobiles, and to cope with climate change. By questioning the foundations and perspectives of the paradigm of sustainable mobility, it is proposed to define the contours of future strategies for its implementation. As such, the peri-urban area is retained because it presents particular challenges: complex territorial structure, low public transport offerings, multi-polarized demand and monomodal and auto-solitary displacements. This space is a laboratory of paradoxical analyzes because this unfavorable situation in terms of the organization of the sustainable mobility system can be turned into an opportunity through both technical and organizational experiments and encourage other ways of moving. The implementation of this perspective induces a shift from traditional systems of travel management to cross-sectoral cooperation of actors. The recomposition of the technical approach, the reorganization of the decision-making bodies, the experimentation and the innovation thus carry the hope of a more durable mobility especially in the spaces under urban dependence as we show it with that of the area metropolitan Montpellier (Hérault-France)

Full textThe purpose of this research is to understand if and how the Millennial generation is contributing to a transition towards more sustainable travel behaviours in Europe. The study uses a comparative approach on a cohort and territorial basis. On one hand it analyses the differences between the Millennials, which are experiencing a general decrease in car use/ownership if compared with previous cohorts, and the Baby Boomers, which are seen to be highly car-dependent – even after retirement. On the other hand, it considers the territorial differences among EU clusters of countries and degrees of urbanisation. The methods include secondary analysis of EU-wide datasets with descriptive and geographic analysis and logistic regression on socio-demographic characteristics and modal choice, plus a series of focus group sessions across the Italian territory. According with the results, it is confirmed that Millennials have less polluting habits than their predecessors: less car use/ownership, less probability of being car users independently from context/status, higher degree of urbanisation. Nonetheless, in recent years this trend is experiencing a change of direction, with a general rise in car use/ownership and declining urbanisation, with different paces and schemes amongst clusters of countries and territorial contexts. The main results suggest that i) with the improvement of their individual status and general European economic recovery, Millennials’ car use tends to rise; ii) the pace and extent of this rise is highly dependent on the regional and territorial context, with a substantial incidence of Eastern and PIIGS countries and of the ones living in suburban contexts., resulting in an overall rise in car use in Europe. Indeed, the regression analysis, together with the qualitative study, showed that what really makes the difference in choosing or not the car as the main mode is not much the fact of belonging to a cohort, but the residential location (both urban/rural and regional cultural/economic context), and the “status” (income level; being a student). Millennials are now more urban and still in education, but in many of them persists the idea of a future in less urban areas, and/or an inevitable automobility once they are out of the student-period. Though, the study highlights the importance of the relationship between the two cohorts, drawing attention on the peculiarities of Millennials (more formative experiences of car-less life abroad/in different cities; more pragmatic yet conflictual relationship with the car), but also on them as heirs to the Baby Boomers’ choices and systems of values and habits (suburban way of life as a legacy). The study demonstrates the power of the cohort effect (set of values, education, growing up context) in shaping car (in)dependent people; showing as well that car dependency cannot be overcome without working on places. It finally offers a scheme of car (in)dependency to guide policy actions to make both people and places less car dependent in the long term.

Full textRio de Janeiro city has a wide range of urban transportation. Subway, trains, buses, bike paths, cable cars and also water transportation. Recently, these modes have been awarded with public investments: expansion of the subway, modernization of railways, construction of dedicated lanes for buses and bicycle paths, and the number of boats on the water transport has increased. However, the improvement in the quality of urban mobility at the city is not perceived. Traffic jams, crashes in urban facilities, overcrowding of public transport and poor conditions of services are part of the public transport problems in the city. This research analyzes the VII Administrative Region São Cristóvão (VII RA-SC), comprising the following neighborhoods: São Cristóvão, Benfica, Mangueira and Vasco da Gama. These places have great passenger capacity of transport modes (train and subway) and also features several bus lines that make the interconnection with the rest of the city and also with nearby cities. The region also has several urban equipment, such as public parks, shopping and leisure centers, hospitals, museums, educational institutions and is also home to large companies in the telecommunications segments, engineering and oil industry. The overall objective of the research is to evaluate the VII RA-SC from the perspective of sustainable urban mobility from an index that incorporates the social, environmental and economic dimensions. The specific objectives for the development of analysis are reviewing the literature on sustainable urban mobility, the existing legal framework, characterization of the existing transport system in the VII RA-SC, modeling and calculation of Urban Mobility Index – São Cristóvão (IMS-SC). The calculation of IMS-SC has limitations due to the unavailability of recent data. Initially, the reporting period was the years 2012 to 2014. However, certain data only have surveys until 2012, therefore, researched period is between the years 2010 and 2012. The subject Urban Mobility can be subdivided into four sub-items: definition the concepts of Urban Mobility and Sustainable Urban Mobility, establish the connection between land use and planning of transport, defining the macroaccessbility and microaccesbility concepts and presentation of the legal framework in planning public transport in Brazil. Thus, draws up a panel of concepts on the subject and how the public planning has been organized according to the new concepts that have been introduced in the thematic discussion.

Full textKlimatförändringar innebär en stor utmaning för världen. Ungefär 23% av världens energirelaterade CO2-utsläpp härstammar från transportsektorn. Urbana godstransporter fortsätter öka som ett resultat av en ökande efterfrågan på varor. Städer behöver hantera godstransportflöden för att minska klimatpåverkan från dem. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad städerna Göteborg, Köpenhamn och Åbo behöver för att hantera godstransporter och vilka åtgärder de har antagit för att minska CO2-utsläppen från dem. Studiens mål är att reflektera kring hur elementen i den kommunala godstransportshanteringspraktiken förhåller sig till det hållbara mobilitetsparadigmet och identifiera möjliga åtgärder för att minska klimatpåverkan och nå hållbar mobilitet. Social praktikteori guidade analysen där betydelser, material och kompetenser identifierades från det empiriska materialet. Data insamlades genom dokumentanalys samt genom intervjuer med anställda vid städerna. Resultatet visar att anledningarna till att hantera godstransporter är att minska miljöpåverkan, minska negativ social påverkan, säkerställa god framkomlighet för godstransporterna, stärka ekonomin och skapa jobb samt undvika målkonflikter och hitta gemensamma lösningar. Material som behövs inkluderar finansiering, riktlinjer samt personella resurser. Kompetenser som behövs är systemperspektiv, förståelse för den privata sektorn, söka och hantera finansiering, samarbetsförmåga, transportplanering samt upphandling och planering av stadens egna interna godstransporter. Behovet och beteendet som styr godstransporterna verkar vara exkluderat från praktiken. Detta är behovet av varor samt konsumtionsbeteendet som är kopplat till det. Åtgärderna som städerna har antagit för att minska klimatpåverkan från godstransporter fokuserar på tekniska och logistiska lösningar. Själva praktiken innehåller både drag som är i linje med det hållbara mobilitetsparadigmet och drag som inte är det. Den hållbara mobiliteten skulle stärkas ifall deltagandet breddas så att privatpersoner och personer med kompetens inom miljö och sociala aspekter också inkluderas i godstransporthanteringen.
